Your customers already know two prices from the gas pump.
A cash price and a card price on the shelf tag, scanned at the register in one pass. FeeSlicers sets up dual pricing for independent liquor stores, package stores and corner convenience stores, and tells you up front how the approval process works for your kind of business.
Two minutes to start. No obligation. George takes it from there.
First, the honest part: approval takes a closer look.
Liquor stores and convenience stores go through extra underwriting review when they apply for a merchant account. That's standard across the payments industry for these categories, and it means approval isn't automatic. Some applications are approved quickly, some need more paperwork, and some aren't approved.
George will tell you on the first call what the application will ask for, so you can pull your license, your recent processing statements and your business documents together before anything is submitted. If something in your file is likely to be a problem, he'd rather say so early than let you wait on an answer.
A thousand SKUs, two prices each.
A package store might carry fifteen hundred bottles. A convenience store has gum, cold drinks, groceries and a coffee station. Some of those customers count out cash and plenty tap a card. Dual pricing gives every item a posted cash price and card price, so each customer sees a clear choice.
With Edge, North's dual-price program, the card price sits about 4% above the cash price, and a debit card pays it just as a credit card does. A $24.99 bottle is $25.99 on a card. A $3.50 coffee and muffin is $3.64. A $54.00 case of craft beer is $56.16.
Your customers have read two-price signs at the fuel pump for decades. A shelf tag that shows both prices is the same idea, one aisle over.
What goes on the shelf tag
- Each item's card price, posted first
- The cash price beside it
- North's two-price notice at the door and register, in English and Spanish

The register setup.
Fast scanning, a customer PIN pad and real inventory tracking.
Core countertop POS
An 11-inch screen with a cash drawer and a barcode scanner available. Scan the bottle and the screen shows the card and cash totals for the whole order.
Smart PINPad Pro
A merchant screen paired with a separate customer PIN pad, a familiar layout for a busy counter where many people pay with debit.
Inventory in Payments Hub
Retail mode tracks inventory, and bulk upload loads your whole price list from a spreadsheet, both prices included, instead of keying items one at a time.
ID checks and age-restricted sales stay exactly as you handle them now. Dual pricing changes the prices you post, not your store's procedures for carding customers.
What a store pays for the program.
One free Payanywhere Smart device per location for qualifying merchants through December 31, 2026. Requires a $5 monthly service fee and a $25 monthly minimum. Software subscription applies.
Store owners ask us.
Why does my store get extra underwriting review?
Processors and banks review some business types more closely, and liquor and convenience stores are among them. It doesn't mean you'll be turned down, but approval isn't automatic, and George will tell you what to have ready before you apply.
Is cash discount the same as dual pricing?
They're two names for the same idea. You post a card price for every item, and the cash price is a discount from it. North calls its program a cash discount program, and we usually call it dual pricing.
How do I re-tag a store with this many items?
Start from your price list. Bulk-upload it into inventory with both prices, print new shelf tags from it, and work aisle by aisle. George will help you plan the order so the register and the tags change over together.
Does the card price apply to debit?
Yes. Card-brand rules treat debit as a card whether it's run with a PIN or not, so debit pays the card price. The lower price is for customers paying in cash.
